Chapter 276 Envy, game development

"The film screening of "Step by Step", which has attracted much attention from the outside world, was packed with people, and the Qing Palace drama ended up on the Mango Stage!"

"A wonderful TV series masterpiece with Zhou Yutang as executive producer and producer is coming soon."

"Liu Shishi's costume stills, her temperament is gentle and her beauty is like poetry."

After the screening, the press release from Tangren was immediately arranged.

It triggered a heated discussion from the outside world.

The name Zhou Yutang has its own word-of-mouth effect, and many people inside and outside the industry are full of expectations for this TV series that has not yet been aired.

"Mimi, how much did this drama produced by your boss cost?"

From the crew of "Palace", Yu Zheng was browsing the news reports on the entertainment portal with his mobile phone, and found Yang Mi with some envy.

Tang Dynasty released a press release. Although it did not reveal the exact price of the film, it only said that it was an astonishing price. It also used artistic exaggeration to describe the frenzy of more than a dozen TV stations rushing to buy "Step by Step" at the movie screening. In the scene, I almost didn’t say that the heads of the film purchasing department of these TV stations started fighting on the spot.

Jealousy makes people feel like lemons, jealousy makes hostages separate.

Isn’t this the beautiful picture in Yu Zheng’s dream?

The TV series he produced was snapped up by TV stations, and then he reached the pinnacle of his life.

"Palace" is a drama of the same type as "Bu Bu Jing Xin". He was a little curious about how much it could sell, so he found Yang Mi and wanted to get some inside information from her.

"I'm not sure. It seems to be very expensive."

Yang Mi was also a little fox with some moral integrity, so she would not reveal Zhou Yutang's secrets and pretend to be confused.

In fact, she asked Zhou Yutang about this yesterday afternoon and knew the approximate price. She even envied Liu Shishi with Tang Yan in the evening.

"It's a pity."

Yu Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He is also a smart person. When he saw the promotion of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in full swing, his mind changed slightly and he was ready to make a Qing Palace drama following the trend.

I originally wanted to speed up the progress and take advantage of the east wind to take advantage of the situation after the broadcast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" ended.

However, there was a problem with the schedule of the heroine Yang Mi, so she rushed to catch up, and the filming was still delayed for several months. "Step by Step" took advantage of this opportunity to be released ahead of schedule.

Seeing Yu Zheng's depressed expression, Yang Mi also comforted her: "Don't worry, Zhou Yutang said that after the broadcast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", it will drive the entire market. There is no guarantee that the Qing palace drama will be a hit within the next two years. The lower limit is absolutely certain.”

"I hope so."

And at this time.

Cai Yinong took the senior executives of Tangren Company to settle the accounts together.

The profits from this project are quite astonishing, even higher than the combined profits of several TV drama projects of our company last year.

really.

In the entertainment industry, having someone on your lap is far more important than your own aimless efforts.

Without Zhou Yutang, the people of Tang Dynasty would have no choice but to deal with the big men of these domestic TV stations as grandsons. It is absolutely impossible for more than a dozen satellite TV stations to take the initiative to come and participate in the film viewing party.

The senior executives of Tangren Company are deeply aware of this.

I am also very glad that I made the decision to let Zhou Yutang invest in Tangren.

If we slowly make the cake bigger, we might even be able to dream of going public in two years.

Cai Yinong was so excited that he made several phone calls last night to inquire about "Snow on Thousand Mountains", which disturbed the boudoir fun played by Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi.

Afterwards, Zhou Yutang and Long Yan were furious and very dissatisfied with this, "Didn't you say that Sister K has a man? Why don't you have a life at night? My game company never forces employees to work overtime."

He and Liu Shishi lived in two places, but they often chatted at night, and he also knew that Cai Yinong found a man last year.

It's a coincidence that after doing some background research, it was discovered that the man hiding behind Cai Yinong was Wang Yi, who joined Kodong Games last year.

This person had successfully entered the industry earlier by providing contributions to the network star of the "Magic Baby" operating company. He also worked in the popular The9 City, but soon moved to Perfect World. During this period, he was responsible for projects such as "Zhu Xian" and "Fantasy Zhu Xian" marketing work.

This is a top talent in the gaming industry. He was recruited by Zhou Yutang with a high salary last year and is currently the vice president of Jiangdong Games.

"Haha, what are you talking about?"

Liu Shishi hit him lightly, smiled and said: "The company has not achieved decent results in the past two years. Today's movie viewing will be a success. Sister K may be too happy."

She found a comfortable position and leaned in Zhou Yutang's arms. There was still a trace of rouge-like luster on her face.

Thinking that his man was so capable, Liu Shishi also felt very proud. The two talked about the little things in life, including Hu Ge's new restaurant and his first TV series this year, "Snow on Thousand Mountains."

"Yes, your company seems to have a newcomer who will be the second male lead in Lao Hu's drama, right?"

"Are you talking about Li Jian?"

"It seems to be him. I remembered what was said on the Internet. He was spotted by you because he played football with you and was good at passing the ball. Then you signed him, hahahaha."

Liu Shishi's delicate body trembled with joy.

"."

Zhou Yutang choked up and patted the blind sister on the butt. "In the future, stop reading those ridiculous comments on the Internet. I don't run a company to run a football team. What's the use of passing the ball? The main reason is that he has the potential to be popular."

This was said by Li Jian during an interview with the media.

The original question was to ask him about his relationship with Zhou Yutang. Li Chang had just debuted and had little experience, so he answered honestly: "Zhou Yutang is a senior brother I admire very much and is also my idol. We played football together in the film school. I gave him He had two assists."

When it comes to entertainment reporters who don’t have any integrity, it’s like “Li Jian was signed to Jiangdong Entertainment because he passed the ball well to Zhou Yutang.” At that time, there was quite a lot of discussion online.

After Li Jian signed with Jiangdong Entertainment.

Pie after piece of cake was fed into his mouth.

First, he was directly cast as the second male lead in "Reply 1997", then he played a supporting role in "33 Days of Love", and then he was cast as the second male lead Mu Zhenfei in "A Thousand Mountains of Snow".

In this drama, business war is the background, and sadomasochism is the theme.

Zhou Yutang wanted to praise Li Jian, so he asked the screenwriting department to move the role of Mu Zhenfei to the second male lead.

This is probably the brightest character in the novel, and his role is destined to attract fans.

besides.

Zhou Yutang is also planning to cast him as the second male lead in "Xuanyuan Sword".

Such resources, such treatment.

I'm afraid that the entire entertainment industry will be envious of newcomers.

Last night's farewell was better than the wedding.

Cai Yinong probably knew that he had disturbed Zhou Yutang's nightlife, so he gave Liu Shishi a day off.

Zhou Yutang has a full schedule in the Magic City and will not return to the capital until tomorrow.

Liu Shishi wore a mask and a hat and accompanied him in a low-key manner throughout the process.

First, I went to the game company.

Many employees in the company are quite curious about this popular and popular boss who has never seen the light of day.

He saw the woman following Zhou Yutang who was dressed in a low-key manner but had an exceptionally gentle and outstanding temperament.

I suddenly felt enlightened and a little excited.

Isn’t this the spokesperson for our own game?

Liu Shishi, who just became popular because of Black Swan not long ago?

Although they were full of curiosity and gossip, the boss Chen Min was usually dignified, and he might have given instructions in advance. The employees also restrained their excitement and did not come up to ask for autographs or photos.

I had a direct and efficient meeting with the senior management of the game company, mainly to report on the business status of the game company.

In the early stage, the game company had no profitability, and Zhou Yutang spent a lot of money to maintain the operation of the game company.

As the general manager, Chen Min was also under pressure. During this period, she even lost a lot of hair. Fortunately, her hard work finally paid off.

Now that the company's first game "Jian Yu Jiang Hu" has been released, the market prospects are bright, which means that the game company will be able to operate independently without relying on Zhou Yutang's blood transfusion in the future, and it will be completely profitable.

"Mr. Zhou, the situation here is probably like this."

Chen Min and another company vice president, Wang Yi, accompanied Zhou Yutang on the way to MiHoYo Studio to talk about the company's operations.

The vice president, Wang Yi, asked with some curiosity: "Actually, there are currently more web game players than mobile games. Mr. Zhou seems to be very optimistic about the mobile game business?"

“When smartphones become popular, mobile games will be the future.”

Zhou Yutang said firmly: "There is a lot of potential for mobile game projects."

The iPhone has already come out, and it will soon enter a leapfrog development and officially enter the smartphone era.

Wang Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded in deep agreement: "Mr. Zhou, thank you very much."

Although Zhou Yutang is not a professional gamer, what he says is forward-looking and often hits the point. Even he admires it.

MiHoYo Studio still has these backbone teams, and has also added two more art directors to the team.

These college students are very motivated. They work overtime until midnight writing program code every day, and their hair has turned white.

Due to the lack of experience in operating independent projects, the MiHoYo team did not start a large project on its own. Instead, with the help of the company, it cooperated with Shanda Company to develop a game "Bubble Hero".

This game combines the old version of Bubble Hall server and the new hero mode server version.

In a word, encourage players to top up money.

Kryptonium will become stronger.

This project was done very well, and Shanda's profit situation was good. They sent people to do back-up work on Jiangdong Games, hoping to spend money to get some company shares.

The result was naturally rejected by Zhou Yutang.

But even giants like Shanda are optimistic about it, which undoubtedly proves the prospects of Kodong Games and the potential of MiHoYo as a studio.

"Right now, we are making a side-scrolling flying game called Fly me to the moon, where you control a beautiful girl Kiana to fly and fight monsters and Pacman."

Cai Haoyu, the brains of the MiHoYo Studio team, became more confident after training and introduced several projects that MiHoYo Studio was working on to Zhou Yutang, Chen Min and Wang Yi.

This is a young man with very clear goals.

While working on projects, participate in various competitions in the industry, sum up your own shortcomings, and broaden your horizons.

Although these people are young, their professional abilities are very strong.

After Chen Min and Wang Yi asked Cai Haoyu and the miHoYo studio team a few professional questions, they no longer looked down upon them and admired Zhou Yutang's gaze.

"Come on, if you encounter any difficulties, just contact Mr. Wang directly and he will help you solve it."

Zhou Yutang knows little about otaku culture, but he will not interfere with MiHoYo's growth and has always been encouraging.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your support."

Cai Haoyu was very knowledgeable and took the initiative to toast Zhou Yutang, Chen Min and Wang Yi with a glass of wine during the dinner.

The miHoYo studio team was also particularly moved.

Zhou Yutang wants money to give money and people to give to people. The key is to unconditionally support the team's ideas.

He even quietly used his connections behind the scenes to help them solve the problem of graduating from graduate school, which had become troublesome due to starting a business.

Where can I find such a good boss?

……………………

"Yu Tang, this is my first time meeting Sister K's boyfriend."

After dinner with the top management of Jiangdong Games and the MiHoYo Studio team, Liu Shishi hugged Zhou Yutang's arm and started gossiping eagerly.

"Didn't Sister K usually bring you to meet?"

Zhou Yutang asked slightly curiously.

"No, Sister K usually hides very deep, and we only know that she is playing games."

Liu Shishi shook his head slightly and laughed: "She can't hide now. If she bullies me, you will still have hostages in your hands."

"."

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly.

Liu Shishi is one of the first sisters in the Tang Dynasty, a real money-spinner.

Coupled with Zhou Yutang's relationship, Cai Yinong enjoyed the sweetness of hugging his thigh.

It is estimated that now she can't wait to treat Liu Shishi as her aunt.

How dare you bully?

"The business negotiation team is already negotiating with Jiangsu Province and Taiwan on the copyright buyout fee for "If You Are the One". The bottom line for negotiation given here is no less than 100 million."

"The ratings of "The Voice" were stable at about 5% last year. This year, we are still selecting musical talents from the three places across the Taiwan Strait. The first season program dividends in Europe have been paid into our accounts. The auditions in North America are very popular. Wait and see Based on the ratings when it starts broadcasting next month, we can almost estimate the approximate profit."

In the afternoon, I took Liu Shishi to Mingjie Company.

After the meeting, I chatted with Tian Ming in the office.

"By the way, Yu Tang."

Tian Ming thought of how to take the initiative and said: "If there is a suitable opportunity over there, help your sister Jie find a role."

"Brother Ming."

Zhou Yutang was a little speechless: "Forget it, let Sister Jie be a full-time wife at home. Why bother entering the entertainment industry?"

"That won't work."

Tian Ming said solemnly: "To love someone is to help her become the best version of herself. Staying at home all day long to raise her husband and raise children is a kind of constraint for her. I know you, Sister Zhu Jie, she likes to perform. I have to let her realize her own value."

In fact, there are many people with extraordinary backgrounds in the entertainment industry.

In addition to Da Tiantian, there are also many media who are hyping the red background of Korean cod.

Few people know that Sister Chen Hong, who was a strong contender for the number one beauty in domestic entertainment, also has quite a background.

Not to mention Ke Lan, Teacher Ma and others.

Da Tiantian wants to be famous and likes the feeling of standing in the spotlight, but most people just regard it as a job.

Zhu Jie probably had this idea.

She is Tian Ming's wife, and she is destined to be rich and prosperous all her life. She takes roles just to pass the time out of boredom.

Tian Ming said a lot, and Zhou Yutang was almost moved.

After a pause, he unscrewed the lid of the thermos cup, took a sip of black wolfberry water, and smacked his mouth: "Yu Tang, your authentic black wolfberry from Northern Xinjiang tastes good."

"It's broken. I forgot it this time."

"How could you forget such an important thing? I also asked someone to buy it myself, and I feel that the one you brought has the most authentic taste."

Seeing this brother's expression suddenly change, Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly despite his heartache: "Brother Ming, it's a joke, how could you forget."

As he spoke, he put the hardcover bag in his hand on his desk.

"Brothers."

Tian Ming put it into the cabinet at lightning speed, changed his face instantly, and switched to smile mode.

Authentic northern Xinjiang black wolfberry.

It is a magical substance that nourishes yin, nourishes kidneys, and strengthens body and yang.
